Highly trained and experienced faculty and staff place an emphasis on contextual learning to build the deep understanding essential for mastery of knowledge and skills. Gardner teachers care deeply about children and inspire them to think broadly and critically. Teachers design lessons that stimulate several of the “intelligences” and as students begin to “learn how they learn,” they use their strengths to overcome their challenges.
